assuming the appeal is going to be ruled a swing, this means the batter swung her bat, theoretically, far enough to be consider a strike. this if there was any doubt in her mind, she should run to 1B.
what im saying is, why the need to protect the batter who 1) swung and 2) made no effort to run to 1B when there is no downside to running
